Househacking with a wife and newborn baby

Patrick Lim
Posted

Hi me and my wife just bought a 5br 3 bath SFR. Its nicely partitioned that 4 bedrooms and 2 baths are somewhat separate from the masters bedroom, which has its own bath. We plan to househack the 4 bedrooms and live in the masters.

Im kind of wary leaving my wife and baby with 4 strangers when im off at work. Is there anyone with this kind of experience and what would be your tips for me?

Thank you in advance!

If you do thorough background checks and your tenants meet your stringent criteria, it is likely you will feel comfortable leaving your wife and baby at home with your tenants. I'm reminded of all the roomates I've shared housing with in my past and would have been perfectly comfortable leaving my wife and child alone with all of 'em. That baby crying thing though, some kids are better than others at that :)
